Mindplex Magazine is excited to announce that it will accept future-focused articles which will be published on the 'Community Section'. The call for content is open from September 14, 2023 — May 15, 2024. In some extraordinary cases, writers will have a chance of winning one of the four MPXR rewards, and MPX tokens upon launch.

The award amounts listed in the table below are the results of our simulation. In this simulation, one MPX token is worth $0.15 USD. The more the MPX token's value grows, the more compensation content creators receive.

Performance range	MPX token Award	Equivalent USD	Remark
Platinum	1000	150	Content that manages to generate more than 1,500 MPXR tokens
Gold	667	100	Content that manages to generate between 900 and 1,499 MPXR tokens
Silver	500	75	Content that manages to generate between 600 and 899 MPXR tokens
Bronze	167	25	Content that manages to generate between 280 and 599 MPXR tokens

The contributions that meet our editorial guidelines will be published on Mindplex Magazine, and coverage through our social media channels for extra exposure.

What is Mindplex Magazine?

Mindplex Magazine is an AI-enhanced, decentralized magazine and content creation platform — a collaborative space where content creators & consumers benefit equally and are fairly compensated.

A “Mindplex” is a structured and connected collection of minds, be they human, machine, or even alien — a collaborative mind-space for minds of any definition. Mindplex, the project, is creating a space for the formation of these Mindplexes and is simultaneously a magazine, a decentralized media platform, a global brain experiment, and a community — bringing together all of these elements collaboratively while also addressing the systemic issues plaguing the current media environment.

The project is developing and refining AIs that will connect with and work alongside humanity. These human-AI collaborations will lay the foundation for thoughtful and compassionate superintelligences of the future, who will assist and guide us safely down our path towards a Benevolent Singularity.

The submissions must be original content (not published anywhere else), and the submissions will be reviewed by the Mindplex Editorial team before being accepted. Please be patient while our editorial team reads and reviews the submissions, and note that we will only contact authors whose submissions are accepted.

Contributor Guidelines

The 21st century is all about advancement in science and technology that impacts the society around us. So much is happening at any given moment that it’s hard to keep track of every cool tech and science breakthrough. That is why at Mindplex, we bring experts, observers, and thinkers to share the science and tech stories with you, and reward these thinkers for helping inform and educate the world.

En Garde! Read the guidelines if you don’t want to be disappointed.

Mindplex Contributor Guidelines

We’re looking for freelance writers and videographers to seed the platform with relevant, fresh, and evergreen content on everything sci-tech: From USS Stargazer to SpaceX Falcon to nanotech, neuroscience, AGI, and more… Know this: there are tons of readers out there waiting for updates, reviews, and even opinions on technology, and you can be their hero.

Reminder: We all love to get immediate rewards for our efforts, but there is no use to blast us with queries about the status of your submissions. Reviewing and responding take time, and we are only human (except the AI-brarian, who has firmly refused to review submissions, thereby showing greater-than-human intelligence already).

If your article is accepted, and you have not beleaguered our staff with excess contact, we assure you that you will be notified within two weeks of your submission. If you attempt to prod our team into early results, you will be notified by carrier pigeon, at our convenience.

Finally, don’t expect to hear back from us on weekends. Yes, we probably received your submission, but we were at the beach or the pub (or wherever the AI-brarian hangs out on weekends). We’ll get back to you on Monday.

Note: Please, we don’t want to know ten super supplements to burn fat at home. Don’t be a salesperson in the supermarket of writers. In particular, don’t pitch us the next hot crypto investment! We’re much more interested in the uses of quantum machine learning, next-gen MethOx thrusters, Smart Metasurfaces, or use of graphene in supercomputers.

Now that we have set some boundaries, let’s be cool and see what we love!

Article Guidelines

Yes, size matters. Essays less than 1500 (give or take 20 words) words will not be considered. we need details, copious amounts of details! Also, not too big: keep it under 5000 words. Include all of the relevant information, don’t skip anything important, and don’t drag on or get lost in the weeds. Keep the snarky remarks and unnecessary wit to a minimum.

Your content must be original and not a repost or republished.

Content must be proofread properly for grammatical and spelling errors and flow before sending to us. (The AI-brarian also refuses to do grammar checks, and we are not your 5th grade writing teacher.)

Share your article in Google docs with a link that is accessible to anyone.

It’s your piece, and we’re decentralized, so it’s up to you whether you choose to share your personal information, like real name, bio, a picture and social media link to appear with your published article. You can also use pseudonyms, as long as they are cool, along with an avatar.

Note: Real creds will allow you to create a writer’s portfolio to be showcased somewhere else. This is the way!

• Citing relevant sources is important. We must be able to verify that the story is true. (The source is strong with you.)
• Give credit where it’s due. Don’t just download pictures from Google because they won’t be used, unless you are the creator or give proper credit to the images’ source, and if it is Creative Commons licensed. (Also, the CC license must allow commercial uses.)
• Please don’t submit sponsored or overly promotional content. We can smell it from bytes away. (See what we did there? We know computers!)
• Please be considerate and do not use affiliated or any sort of promotional link in the article. By the power vested in us, we will remove the URL (and consider rejecting the content).
• Add a disclaimer if you have vested interest in the company you’re writing about in your article. for example: Deepmind employee.
• Feel free to send a featured image — preferably 1200x600 — that you either have permission to use, is Creative Commons-licensed, or is copyright-free. (Make sure the image doesn’t carry a brand logo/watermark or name.) Specify the license or intended use of the image. You may use Stable Diffusion, Midjourney and any other AI image generating services.

What Happens After You Submit?

Once you have submitted your content, one of our editors will review it for information accuracy(although we trust you provide credible and true information), grammatical, and spelling errors… we don’t want to pull out our red marking pen).

The relevance of the topic will be a crucial factor in determining whether your submission is a fit — remember, we are here to inspire collaboration between minds, and foster genuine “mindplexi.” If everything appears correct, and the content falls within our guidelines, you’ll be informed. It usually takes up to seven days for the review process. Kindly keep calm and think of what else you can do in the meantime.

Our editorial team may ask you to make changes if need arises. In that case, the publishing process may be delayed.

• Tons of people get to read your stories, earning you exposure and authenticity.
